Some countries with rich forest implement programs to improve forest management and to help fight climate change by reducing carbon emissions from deforestation.

Toronto, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/02/2012 -- It is important to provide more accurate data for creating confidence in developing carbon markets and Lloyd-Westcord agrees with that. The data that has been published this week has yielded a confidence to carbon markets.

Trees store carbon dioxide but forest deforestation releases as much as 1.1 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year. Some countries with rich forest implement programs to improve forest management and to help fight climate change by reducing carbon emissions from deforestation.

Guyana, a state in northern South America, took those efforts a step further by pioneering a national program to conserve its forests in 2009. It created an economically rational baseline to measure the value of a standing forest. An accurate measurement of what's actually being sold is the key to market confidence. This idea, of ecosystem services such as carbon dioxide stored in trees has a value to the world, as well as to the market, will likely become more reasonable as the market recognizes the expense of humans trying to recreate these services.

New data on emission reductions is important are essential for countries trying to meet their greenhouse gases reporting requirements under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
